Myocardial Architecture and Patient Variability in Clinical Patterns of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke by a factor of four to five and is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. The progression of AF with age, from short self-terminating episodes to persistence, varies between individuals and is poorly ...

Continuous positive airway pressure therapy converted atrial fibrillation in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the possible causes of atrial fibrillation (AF). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may lower the recurrence rate of AF after cardioversion to normal sinus rhythm. We report a case of AF

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Esophageal Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation: When Esophagus Gives a Help to Cardiologists

open access: yesCardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Atrial fibrillation is a common clinical disease especially in the elderly and in patients with organic heart disease. Electrical cardioversion is the first choice therapeutic approach for patients in which sinus rhythm could improve the quality of life

Efficacy and Safety of Bepridil for Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation after Failed Electrical Cardioversion

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2011
Introduction: Bepridil is effective for atrial fibrillation (AF), but it can induce torsades de pointes. Thus we examined the efficacy and safety of bepridil when started at 100 mg/day for AF after failed electrical cardioversion (EC).
